Century Restaurant

Typical hotel restaurant that serves a variety of different dishes, not very many Veg or Pescatarian friendly options. I’m not 100% sure on the name, but chose to stick with what the receipt states (although the website says «Palmira Bar and Grill»). The décor was not really my taste. It kinda looked like Aladdin’s den meets 1980s. The chairs are comfortably but narrow with high backs. It was uncomfortable to sit with my slim purse and a newspaper next to me. I’m not the smallest person in the world, but I’m pretty sure I wouldn’t be able to sit in that chair if I was larger.
The service was nice, but extremely slow. I felt bad asking for water the first time, but not after the 3^rd more than 20 minutes after the 2^nd request. It’s not like they were super busy, but I had a feeling that one or two guys were waiting on all the tables. I got a salmon dish, which smelled/​tasted fishy and was soggy on the bottom. Sorry, I know it’s a hotel. But if the restaurant wants to pretend it’s fancy and charge $ 17, the plate of fish should be good in my opinion. I did appreciate that they switched the onion rings (not sure why that was with the salmon), for a side salad without problem.
Overall, much like the hotel, it looks better than it was. Sigh — there were so many other fantastic food places in LA too… I probably should have just ate at the lounge where I got coffee afterwards (they have a full menu too). I was mistaken because I thought they only had the premade food in the fridge available.
